What is with the name?
I thought it would be a cool name for a race in the heat and humidity of late July. It's also because Killens Pond, where the race is held, is part of the Murderkill River. Murderkill comes from the Dutch words of "Moeder" which means "Mother", and "Kille" which is "Creek".
Course
A 3.10-ish mile almost all dirt loop, totally within Killen's Pond State Park. Some roots, rocks (a seashell or so), rubble - but way gentler than most trails, no rainwater and low rise (maybe 80 feet of climb per loop total). Probably a 1/10 on the technical scale. The good news is it will be mostly shaded. Also, if you get too hot, plenty of opportunities to jump in the pond, esp near the boat ramp. Most wear light trail shoes, few wear road running shoes. No need for super technical trail shoes on this course. The only parts that are not trail are the loop around the parking lot that is .28 of a mile and the aluminum footbridge that is probably .2 miles. North portion of Pondside Trail is broad and mostly dirt (sand+organics). Southside portion is single track with some roots. A footbridge is used to cross pond at dam end. All races will start at 8am (ish) at the picnic tables. Loop around the parking lot and proceed on the Connector Trail (.2 miles) by the picnic tables towards the Pondside Nature Trail then turn right onto the Pondside Nature Trail returning on the connector trail to the turnaround at the parking lot. All races will use the “picnic area” There are bathrooms literally 50 yards from the picnic tables in the parking area. Porta-john MAYBE off south portion of trail near the boat ramp area (Sometimes there is one. Sometimes not).Races are self-supported with a community table for sharing any food/drink/aid. Water will be provided. It won’t be cold. But it will be wet.Timing will be manually. I’ll check off your loops and record your finish time.This race is held in "Fat Ass style". No aid guaranteed (except for water). No shirts (except if you paid for one). No medals. No chip timing. You show up, run the distance, and hang out. If you need to be coddled with fully stocked aid stations, plentiful volunteers to help you, etc, this is NOT the run for you. We are decidedly old school in our approach
Park Information
Killen's Pond is about 15 miles south of Dover, DE on U.S. highway 13. It is a beautiful, well maintained park. Every year, we have first timers comment about what a great and beautiful park and trail it is. Turn left (east) on Killen's Pond Road, indicated by brown park sign, to north entrance of park. Continue past water park to first parking lot and picnic tables at far end. Park should open at 0700 (7 am) for us and will close at sunset, around 2015 (8:15PM). The park has no garbage cans; you bring it in, you pack it out.Parking is ample. Unlike Angela Ivory races in January, the “summer season” at Delaware State Parks charges a fee. This fee is included in your entry fee. I will provide you with a ticket/pass when you arrive.We can't thank the park and their staff enough for their continued support of the race and the excellent job they do on the trails.
Entry
Each race is capped at 30 persons. This means 30 for the 50k and 30 the 12 hour option and 30 for the 50 miler. Why? Well, I'm essentially a one-person operation and any more would make it really hard to manage. There is no waitlist. Why? Because I don't feel like managing one.No deferrals or transfers for the same reason above.
Pricing
All races are capped at $40 (Plus Ultrasignup fees). Why $40? It covers your parking, the park permit fees, race insurance, water (yes I have to buy this). plus the cost of opening the park an hour earlier than their usual opening time for you to arrive.Note that any excess funds remaining after the above will be donated to the park, as well. I do not anticipate this amount being very much at all after looking at the numbers.This is a no refund race. No refunds will be given for ANY reason. If you cancel, your funds will be used to pay above and/or donated to the park.
Other
Weather: EXPECT IT TO BE HOT AND HUMID*It is late July, after all.Plenty of picnic tables. Plenty of parking that is literally right next to the course. You can back your car in and crew yourself easily. PLEASE be respectful that we are visitors of this park. The park is open to all and you will see others using the trail, including families and dogs. Unlike the January event, the park will get “crowded”. The waterpark is open, the campgrounds and cabins will be full, etc.Again, it is a "Pack it In, Pack it out" Park. Do NOT litter. If you see trash, pick it up. We will have trashbags at the picnic tables/pavilion.Not much around the park other than farmland, but:For closest hotels, look up either Holiday Inn Express in Harrington, SpringHill Suites in Frederica or hotels in Dover, DE. Harrington/Frederica are a lot closer (10 minute drive in), but Dover has more options (30 minute or so drive in). You could always rent a cabin at Killens Pond or use the campground. Check their website for details, although it might be slim pickings on the cabins in the summer time (Really nice cabins, btw..Bathrooms, heat, a/c, etc).There is a Royal Farms gas/convenience store probably 3 miles from the Park. Google "Royal Farms Felton, DE" for location. There is a BP gas station and convenience store literally 1 mile outside the park, as well This is a rain or shine event. The ONLY exception to this is thunderstorms. In the event of thunderstorms, I WILL pull ALL runners off the course, as you finish your loop. You will NOT be allowed to start another loop if inclement weather is approaching or we are in the midst of. NO EXCEPTIONS. DO NOT DEBATE ME OR ANY PARK OFFICIALS ON THIS. If you disobey this and start another loop, you are violating race rules and will be disqualified. I don’t mess around with runner safety.TIME LIMITS:All races have 12 hour time limits (8pm-ish)
Event's current local time: 4:13 AM ET

The Waterman’s Triathlons are nestled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in picturesque Rock Hall, MD. Just 18 miles from Baltimore “as the fish swims” (put your bike rack on a boat!), Rock Hall is one of the friendliest, most laid back towns anywhere…and is full of history. George Washington took the Annapolis Ferry to Rock Hall nearly ten times before heading to Philly on horseback to work out America’s Independence! The time trial swim takes place in Rock Hall Harbor on the Chesapeake Bay, protecting athletes from any serious wind or chop. The bike course is a triathlete’s dream with beautiful ribbons of pavement and wide shoulders throughout most of the rural course. The run course is pancake flat and takes athletes through the quaint nautically themed neighborhoods and side roads of Rock Hall, MD.
This race is worth the trip to Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Check out our race videos HERE and see why athletes consistently come back year after year to race. Don’t miss out, register today.

In case of severe weather or restrictions mandated by local, state or federal government, Bike Delaware volunteers reserve the right to cancel/alter/modify the tour for safety and other concerns. In any event, we do not refund tour entry or transfer registrations to the following year. All unused rides are considered donations to Bike Delaware, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In the unlikely case a tour is canceled, you may claim your registration fee as a tax-deductible donation.
Unfortunately, all expenses have already been incurred prior to the actual event. Should we be forced to cancel or offer deferrals, the financial impact of the event would not be any different than if the event was held in its entirety. Thus, refunding or deferring any entry fees would devastate the financial future of the Amish Country Bike Tour and Bike Delaware.
The Amish Country Bike Tour is managed by Bike Delaware volunteers. Bike Delaware is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that advocates for safe, convenient and fun cycling and walking for everyone. All funds raised from the Amish Country Bike Tour support Bike Delaware's mission and vision, as well as our community supporting organizations.
